A Unique Crossover

Chapter56: Shades of blue

"FINALLY, our lobster is seeing the light!" Penny excluded happily, hugging me tightly from her happiness. The girls and I were sitting at another table while the guys sat at our usual table, playing some card game. "Well, at least one of them is. She's finally realizing that Luca is a crab and doesn't belong with her. This just makes my Monday."

I swear that one episode of that classic TV show is messing with my roommate's head. She's seriously comparing whatever she believes is beyond the friendship between me and David to one of the show's popular couples. Gently breaking out of her hold on me, "Penny, you're not listening to me."

From Saturday through Sunday, I've been trying to wrap my mind around why I felt so let down by the end of my date with Luca. Everything about that night was amazing, and then I'm thrown with this wracking ball that came out of nowhere.

I was over the moon being around him and going out for one night until he kissed my cheek. Everything just changed, and none of it makes sense to me.

"I had a great time with my adult crush on my first date with him. Then he kissed me on the cheek and I felt disappointed by it and I don't know why." I explained for the hundredth time, becoming more frustrated with myself for all of this. This whole thing felt like some kind of riddle that didn't have an answer.

Desperately looking at the other girls, reaching my hands out with open psalms, "Have any of you ever been in a situation like this before?"

"FORGET about Luca and focus on David!! Because of my foolish, stubborn, and silly roommate," Penny said, softly squeezing my cheeks while shaking my head. Hitting her hands off my face softly as she continued, "Deep down, you know that this kiss is a threat to the love that's there between you two. That you wanted the amazing, green-eyed Australian soccer captain to take you out on dates and kiss you breathless."

Honestly, the more I tell this girl, who's my roommate, that nothing is going on between David and me, the more she continues believing in that love theory of hers. Leaning my head slightly to the back, mentally asking for some strength for this theory of hers.

"Or.... maybe because the kiss came at the wrong time for you, Jenna," Daytona said, causing me to raise my head. At least she sees the problem here despite my roomie's high hopes.

Both she and Janelle have been trying to cheer me up and spare me from Penny's love theory. They were trying to put me at ease about the whole date without focusing so much on one part of it,
"Maybe at the back of your mind, you wanted the first kiss with Luca to be different, romantic, and not on the first date. Deep down, you might want to get to know him better as well as let him know you more before having that kiss."

I am feeling more grateful to hear something that makes sense to me. I've never wanted or expected Luca to kiss me on the first date, I always thought that it would come at a much later time.

Agreeing with Daytona before Janelle chimed in, saying, "The first time I kissed Kevin was at a party which I wasn't really happy with.
It was lovely and perfect for the most part, but I've always wanted it to happen privately and intimately so that we would both remember for a long time."

What she was saying gave me the relief that I was looking for. She seemed to understand what I was going through and how I felt about it. "So, what did you do? When you and Kevin kiss after the one at the party, did you consider that to be your first kiss?"

"I wouldn't say that. We waited to have our real first kiss," Janelle said with a smile that beamed on her face. It was this shy yet love-Dovey smile that she would always have on her face whenever she ever decided to share her relationship with Kevin with us.
